Internet-wise, who would you recommend to deliver my game the day before release?

I have SE Halo 2 on preorder at my local Gamestation but knowing those bints they won't let me have it until Friday so I'm planning on getting the normal version online, in the hope it'll come on the Thursday - this is important to me as I get hardly any play time from Friday to Monday - even less with the task of moving house just over the horizon.

So, who are the best? SR? Play? Gameplay? Amazon? Game? ?

I tend to just shop around for the cheapest price. I'm not always too bothered about not getting a game before or even on the day of release if I end up saving money on it.

I could have bought The Sims 2 from Special Reserve for example, but at £32 it's £4 more than I can get it elsewhere. Whether I get it on time is neither here nor there, £4 is £4 after all.

Hmm, well they all sound good enough, except from Play that's been slated.

I might just have to decide between them in terms of price and delivery cost. Free postage from SR at least - not sure about the others...
